How long do batteries in a keypad last?
This depends on the level of use - with heavy use (three or more times a week) you may need to replace the batteries after 6 months.
With lighter use (once a week or less) the keypads will last a year or more on the same set of batteries.
As well as level of use the way in which the keypads are used will have an effect on battery life.
Battery life is reduced when...
- keypads are used in conjunction with a detector/sentry
- keypads are used in a large universe, the larger the universe size the longer it takes the base station to collect all the votes. Therefore the keypads will be trying to vote for a longer period of time.
